This course, structured as a series of 6 related lessons, revisited traditional methods of architectural representation with the goal of recuperating value in our discipline’s core craft: drawing. Each lesson tasked students with combining, juxtaposing and editing source material borrowed from architecture’s past while remaining conscious of the constraints of historical drawing conventions.
